“XL I already exposed the nonsense behind those stats. Yet you continue to play with your phractrured phary tales.

How come you still post stats comparing deaths among the 150,000 or so stationed in Iraq with deaths of 1.5 million from all causes (almost none of them combat related)? Talk about cooking the books to make a case.

“Representative Confronts American Empire on House Floor
By Jim McDermott, AlterNet
Posted on May 26, 2007, Printed on May 29, 2007
http://www.alternet.org/story/52388/
Editor's note: After a week that saw Democrats cave to the White House in the worst possible way on Iraq, we thought this speech, offered on the House floor by Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wa., last Wednesday, was worth highlighting. In a brief, five-minute commentary, McDermott does something almost unheard of in Washington: He looks at an issue in its larger historical context instead of pretending it just sprung up overnight like mushrooms after a rainfall.

Mr. Speaker:
This president and vice president have vowed to repeat the mistakes of history, and they have put into motion a plan to do just that in Iran, even as the House is about to send the president a box of blank checks for Iraq, against the will of the American people.

The history is worth knowing.
In 1953, the United States and United Kingdom launched Operation Ajax, a covert CIA operation to destabilize and remove the democratically elected government of Iran, including then Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh.

Why? Oil.
Under Mossadegh, the Iranian government decided to reclaim Iran's rightful ownership of its national oil treasure, which had been exclusively controlled by the British who were taking 85 percent of the profits.

Oh, and by the way, the U.K. also kept the books secret, merely telling Iran what its 15 percent take was.
As soon as Mossadegh began to reclaim Iran's oil treasure, it was all over. Operation Ajax was set into motion.
The U.S. embassy in Tehran provoked phony internal Iranian dissent, while the Brits engineered an Iranian financial crisis by orchestrating a global boycott of Iranian oil. We brought down the Iranian government and installed the Shah.

For two decades, we propped up the Shah against the will of the Iranian people. It was all about controlling Iran. It still is. Today, ABC News is reporting exclusively that this president has authorized a new covert CIA plot to bring down the Iranian government.

I ask unanimous consent to enter into the record the journalism produced by chief investigative reporter Brian Ross and Richard Esposito of ABC News.

This is their lead sentence in the story.
"The CIA has received secret presidential approval to mount a covert 'black' operation to destabilize the Iranian government, current and former officials in the intelligence community tell the Blotter on ABCNews.com."

We’re back in 1953, and that worked out so well.
Of course, the vice president wanted to invade Iran, so we can be sure he will spin new tales of fear in coming days to keep his preferred option, invasion, very much alive.

The president knows only one way -- my way or the highway.
His vice president knows only one way -- invade and seize control of what you want -- and he wants the oil treasure of Iraq and Iran to become wholly owned subsidiaries of the western oil companies he so favors.

With Iraq in civil war, the president has authorized a secret plan to repeat the doomed mistakes of history in Iran.
How many billions of reconstruction money for Iraq will be siphoned off for the deconstruction of Iran?
The American people are virtually shouting at us to pay attention and get our soldiers out of Iraq, now.
Vast sums of U.S. taxpayer money are flowing into Iraq and billions of U.S. dollars are missing.
The special inspector for Iraq reconstruction told a San Antonio newspaper last week that corruption in Iraq is endemic and debilitating.

But, Prime Minister al-Maliki has granted ministers and former ministers immunity from prosecution by Iraq’s Commission on Public Integrity.

And, in turn, the ministers can shield their own employees from prosecution.
And, a government that has been told by this president and vice president to pass an oil law that transfers control -- and profits -- to Western oil companies, just like the good old days in Iran.

Overthrowing Iran in 1953 was all about oil. Invading Iraq was all about oil. And the new secret plot against Iran is all about oil.

Oil is the only benchmark this president and vice president want, and they will keep American soldiers fighting and dying until an oil law is passed in Iraq that gives Western oil companies control of the spigot.

It is time to unmask the latest doomed plot to overthrow Iran and past time to get out soldiers out of Iraq.
Nothing less than protecting our troops is acceptable.
Thank you”

“"Vice President Cheney helped to lead the side favoring a military strike," said former CIA official Riedel, "but I think they have come to the conclusion that a military strike has more downsides than upsides."

No kiddin'.....
Like many more boys in body bags for the sake of the oil industry.”

“Poor libbies....the cannot face the fact that their pro socialist leadership makes their true policies so disgusting that they have to blantantly lie about who they are.”

“So its not about the oil, XLax?

We must build a fear campaign that Iran will strike poor little America just as soon as they get a hold of a bomb.

Maybe you should be known as XLaLaLoopyDoo.”

“Oh marky mark...you know that is not who they are going to hit....I bet they even explained it ad infinitum at the Gettysburg meeting or there in Teheran.

Their first target it your favorite place. That will precipitate a nuke exchange and all out war. Granted you will get to see another attempt at your desired "Final Solution" but it will fail.”

“What the fukc are you talking about?

Gettysburg?
Is that where your grandaddy is buried or something?

Get help, punk boy.”

“LOL.from ignoring the mention of the Sept 2 meeting to outright anger....wow...”

“OD'ed on EXLAX or just simply 'Tweaked'? Maybe too much sex without the benefit of women.”

“I would love to see someone find a post where X does not say "LOL" at least once.”

“LOL! Looks a lot like Vietnam! LOL!

“Bush envisions U.S. presence in Iraq like S. Korea

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush would like to see a lengthy U.S. troop presence in Iraq like the one in South Korea to provide stability but not in a frontline combat role, the White House said on Wednesday.

The United States has had thousands of U.S. troops in South Korea to guard against a North Korean invasion for 50 years.

http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSN3041621320070530?pageNumber=1

hey neocons.... a timetable to get out is not sounding so bad now huh?”

“Taking over the world is long hard work and you dorks with no patience should all move to Hollywood.”

“Can I move to Ireland instead?

I don't think they will be attempting world conquest any time soon.”

“I must warn you that 'eland' has less oil than 'aq' or 'an', but purty girls ,no contest.”

“Anyone that thought we would be in and out of Iraq is clueless. I could have told you from the start of this thing that we would be setting up PERMINANT operations.”

“where we'll be for the next 50 years

I thought HikerBoy wasn't even an American yet. What's this we stuff?”

“"I could have told you from the start of this thing that we would be setting up PERMINANT operations."

Or at least until the oil runs out.

More of the we stuff!

It was never my idea!”

“3463”

“6603, June 6, 1944......granted that was invading France (who um never declared war on us), and then we took Germany but since it was a Democrat run operation we were out of there in....oh wait...still there...SORRY.”

“Are you saying that the U.S. is occupying France now??

.....completely nutz”

“Yup...just like we will be in Iraq forever, looking for thos 50,000 nukes Saddam has. That plus all the chemical agents we still have not found.”

“The best way to liberate Iraq is for the US to leave.... :P”

“Yeah lumber the libbies would like that...so that we could have those attacks here at home. Then they and their willing accomplices in the Media could push things like

SPEECH AND THOUGHT CONTROL - AKA Fairness Doctrine

Government sponsored THEFT -AKA Increased Redistribution of wealth....

LOL..yep just like the book 1984 or Animal Farm you guys would have a disaster which would allow the American SHEEPLE to back your failed ideas.”

“Xl - you are not even willing to acknowledge that We in fact provoked the situation. All the arguements you use were also used about Veitnam and history has proven then false...

Whats your next arguement going to be... "If the log rolls over we will all be dead"?”

“Forty years ago amid the shifting reasoning to stay the course in Vietnam we were told that if we didn't fight them over there we would have to fight them over here.

Some very popular songs in the late sixties were:
We Gotta Get Outta This Place
Eric Burdon and The Animals
Fortunate Son
John Fogarty and Credence Clearwater Revival

Here we go again!”

“Us pulling out of Vietnam proved to be both effective and beneficial to us and the Vietnamese.

They promptly got their asses handed to them when they attacked Cambodia. Also, they have become a producer of goods that are on American markets.

We got to learn a valuable lesson to never abuse our military and drag this country down into the deep, muddy.

It's just a shame that Americans have such a short memory....”

“To anyone who doesn't think we won't get attacked at home because we're in Iraq, have you tried to get on a plane lately?

Just something to consider...”

“Speech and thought control already exist. Specifically in the name of forced diversity. When was the last time anyone found it acceptable for a white man to say what he feels about race or gender roles?”

“Government sponsored theft already exists. Specifically in the form of taxes. Poor people rob each other with guns; rich people rob each other with taxes.”

“LOL..Laqtose...you are sniffing the preservative again...

THIS is BENEFICIAL TO PEOPLE IN LACTOSE's Intolerant attitude





Yeah Lactose...you might want to try and study some ..history”

“Murtha: GOP will turn on Iraq when ’08 pick is made

By Mike Soraghan
September 17, 2007

House Appropriations Defense subcommittee Chairman John Murtha (D-Pa.) said Monday that he expects that Republican lawmakers will begin abandoning President Bush’s Iraq policy after the GOP picks a presidential candidate next year.

“As soon as the primaries are over, you’ll see Republicans start jumping ship,” Murtha said in remarks at the National Press Club.


If it unfolds as Murtha predicts, it will be darkly entertaining to watch them try to rationalise all their "Cut and Run" crap.”

“Ron Paul will get picked? LOL”

“Cut-N-Run tiltypoo.
(VBG)”

“I suppose, if Murtha keeps running his mouth long enough, he's bound to get something right. Suppose this will be the time? Even a blind hog finds an acorn once in awhile.”

“Oh he's next under the bus (after Cindy).....”

Why I Took This Crummy Job
by Stephen Colbert, Guest Editor | NEWSWEEK
Published Jun 6, 2009
From the magazine issue dated Jun 15, 2009

No, your eyes aren't deceiving you. You're reading Stephen Colbert. And for that I apologize. The last thing I want is to contribute to the corrosive influence of the print media. I prefer to yell my opinions at you in person.

But I can't do that this week, because I am in Iraq. I've brought my hit TV broadcast over there to support our troops. I figure if I do this, I can finally take that yellow- ribbon magnet off my Audi without looking like a jerk. God knows what it did to my paint job.

I know what you're thinking: "Isn't the Iraq War over?" That's what I thought, too. I hadn't seen it in the media for a while, and when I don't see something, I assume it's vanished forever, like in that terrifying game peekaboo. We stopped seeing much coverage of the Iraq War back in September when the economy tanked, and I just figured the insurgents were wiped out because they were heavily invested in Lehman Brothers.

Turns out there are still 135,000 troops in Iraq, which I don't understand because we've already won the war. And we've won it so many times. We should win something for the number of times we've won it. We eliminated the weapons of mass destruction by having them not exist. We took out Saddam Hussein�or a really convincing and committed Saddam Hussein double. We helped write the Iraqi Constitution and clearly gave Iraqis the right to bear a lot of arms. And by August of next year we'll withdraw every single one of our troops, leaving behind only memories and 50,000 troops.

But despite our continued victories, Americans have many lingering questions about Iraq. For example: where is Iraq? My guess is somewhere near Paraguay.

I wanted to find the answers. So when Jon Meacham asked me to guest-edit NEWSWEEK, I jumped at the chance, particularly because my guest editorship at Mature -Honeys fell through. I guess my photo essay of sexy housewives reenacting the Battle of Fallujah was too "real" for them.

Of course, guest editing is more than just sitting around tanning myself by the gleam of Fareed Zakaria's teeth. I set the editorial agenda, assigned stories and yelled at Peter Parker to get me more photos of that web-slinging vigilante, Spider-Man. He's a menace!

I took advantage of my powerful new perch and published all my letters to the editor that NEWSWEEK had rejected, provided my Conventional Wisdom, took a red pencil to Meacham's editorial foofaraw and took the bias out of the columnist bios. Most important, I sent NEWSWEEK's reporters to find out whatever happened to Iraq. Unfortunately, this meant cutting the cover story they had planned: "Hey, Have You Heard About This Thing Called 'Twitter?' "

Thanks to my editorial diligence, you'll read about the people who've been touched by this war, from the citizens of Iraq to the cadets at West Point; from soldiers who actively seek out multiple deployments to deserters living in Canada; and from the Iraqi prime minister to the children of our own deployed soldiers.

You're going to love this issue. It's great.

Now, I'd like to take all the credit, but I couldn't have done this alone. Still, give me all the credit. If you have any left over, give it to my executive producer, Allison Silverman, who worked closely with NEWSWEEK's Nisid Hajari to develop the editorial agenda, as well as my co-executive producers Rich Dahm and Tom Purcell, segment producer Matt Lappin, designers Andro Buneta and Kris Long and writers Barry Julien, Mike Brumm, Rob Dubbin, Glenn Eichler, Peter Gwinn, Peter Grosz, Jay Katsir, Frank Lesser, Opus Moreschi and Meredith Scardino.

Now go read my magazine. Although to get the full -effect, you should have someone you admire yell it at you.
